Falling

In Falling, Christopher Pike explores the depth and breadth of human emotion through two brilliantly etched characters: Kelly Feinman, who pays a terrible price to understand the nature of true evil; and Matt Connor, a classic anti-hero who captures the reader's sympathy.

Kelly Feinman: Once a brilliant FBI profiler and field agent, Kelly went rogue on her last case, hunting the serial killer known as the Acid Man. Now, still recovering from the madman's brutal assault, regarded by her fellow agents as a weak link, Kelly struggles to find her footing on a new case: the kidnapping of an infant, Jimmy Techer. Making matters worse, Kelly's husband has taken their daughter and left. Kelly fears she cannot even trust her own instincts.

Matt Connor: Deeply in love with his girlfriend, Matt is devastated when Amy leaves him for another man. He plots a diabolical revenge that begins with his apparent death. By the time Matt is through, Amy--Jimmy's mother--will know the intensity of Matt's pain, because it will have become her own. And Matt…Matt will pass through the fires of hell and, in the eyes of baby Jimmy, will recover his soul.

Matt Connor is a kidnapper. Kelly Feinman is the agent on his trail. They should be enemies. Instead, they become friends, and together, they help each other become whole.

Barrier Lake

Barrier Lake was our first stop on a beautiful drive through Kananaskis yesterday. Friends very kindly invited me to go with them for the day, as they needed to check out the Mt. Lorette area before the Golden Eagle migration takes place just a few minutes' drive away from this lake. We were lucky that a group of people were taking kayak lessons while we were there. After endless rain and grey-skied days (a whole summer of it!), we were so lucky to have a decent day yesterday. A healthy mix of sun and cloud went perfectly with the fall colours that suddenly seem to have appeared. Today, we are back to rain, and more rain in the forecast. Thanks, D and S for such a wonderful day!

Barrier Lake is located approximately 80 km west of Calgary city limits, so takes about an hour to drive there. The Barrier Lake Visitor Information Centre is located 6 km (3.6 miles) south of the Trans-Canada Highway, on Highway 40. If you ever get the chance, Highway 40 takes you on a spectacular scenic loop through Kananaskis!

Barriers to faith

Barrier to faith, grand mosque, Kuwait.

The Grand Mosque is the largest mosque in the State of Kuwait covering 20,000 square metres surrounded by gardens with a variety of flowers, plants, palm trees, fountains and waterfalls. The Main Prayer Hall (seen here) is 72 metres wide on both sides, has 21 teakwood doors and lighting is provided by 144 windows.

At the time of Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, there were no barriers separating male and female members of the congregation, men simply prayed in front, with the women behind them. Today, almost, if not every mosque erects a barrier separating the genders. You have to ask, if following his example is so important, why isn't it being followed in what should be the holiest of places, the mosques?
